A ROAR! Can Be….

A ROAR! Can Be…..   A ROAR! can be the breath it takes to take that next step forward.   A ROAR! can be the calming of a nervous heart and speaking your truth even when your voice is quivering.   A ROAR! can be the spontaneous moment you laugh, when you used to cry.   A ROAR! can be the overwhelming sense of compassion you have for that person you thought was your enemy.   A ROAR! can be the mother bear protecting her young.   A ROAR! can be the yell of, “BACK OFF!  YOU WILL NOT TOUCH ME, HARM ME, HURT ME, PUNCH ME, KICK ME, STONE ME!”   A ROAR! can be the decision to NEVER do that again.   A ROAR! can be the...

What is a ROAR!?

ROAR! came to me on May 23rd at 1:00am, part my own story, part Mother Earth’s. I had been heartsick over the oil spill in the Gulf. It seemed to me that our Mother was hemorrhaging and NO ONE was doing ANYTHING to help her. It made me sick, gave me nightmares, and, most importantly, woke me up to the atrocities that our culture has done to not only nature, but to women themselves. I felt helpless, vulnerable, scared and weak because there was nothing I felt I could do to help Her. As this frustration built, a rumble began to stir within me. I yelled ENOUGH!, trying to stop the rumble. But then I realized that it was not to be stopped. The ENOUGH! was to be yelled not...

The 12 Keys of Spiritual Activism ~~~ by Humanity Healing Network

  May these 12 Key steps activate your own activism, and help you to change the world one step at a time.  For when we can truly embrace these steps, we can truly change ourselves, our lives, and then those around us, which leads, to yes, changing the world….  and so I try, and I do, and I succeed, and I stumble – but I never ever stop!   For I believe with my entire existence that THIS is the way to our salvation.  Those that do NOT follow these steps or steps like them will fail.  The old way is gone, this new way, the way of the feminine, is the only way to healing ourselves, our businesses, our country, our planet.  Cinda Stevens Lonsway   ...

Why I Wrote the Check!

“The necessary flow of money; it is its own energy.” Cinda Why we feel money and spirituality don’t go hand in hand blows my mind.  In my life I have experienced the flow of money as being very similar to the flow of energy.  The flow of energy is most certainly generated from the flow and connection to and from Spirit.  Therefore, for me, if we honor the flow of money, we honor the flow of energy, and in doing so Spirit is honored as well. There is a childhood song which comes to mind by Malvina Reynolds: “Love is something when you give it away, give it away, give it away Love is something when you give it away, You’ll end of having more. It’s just like a...

Protect Yourself from Negativity: THINK PINK! by Cinda Stevens Lonsway

With all the negativity going on in the world right now, we need to learn ways to help us deal with it!  If you have a sensitive ear and heart, you probably are the “go to” person for others to share with their fears, frustrations, internal battles, and emotional pains.  This lovely sensitivity of yours is your gift to the world, but it can and will become your curse to yourself if you don’t learn to energetically protect your being.  It can make you SICK emotionally, physically, and spiritually – depending of the depth of the negative energetic attack and how often you are exposed. So protecting yourself is a healthy way to learn to live.  It is...

Can I Really Do This?

If you read the blog entry before this one, you will have learned how I recovered from my paralyzing fear through the support and guidance of dear friends.  But the story didn’t end there, it continues here….That day at the Bodacious Goddess Breakfast and the intervention in my car, was a Thursday.  That following Monday, I had lunch with Francine Raften.  In my first blog, I mentioned that Francine had read ROAR! and approached me with the idea of having my own radio show.  Francine also has thirty plus years of experience in radio, TV, and standup comedy; in other words she is a rock star is this world of unknown to me.  My purpose for lunch with Francine, was...

A New Way of Being Me

I have always considered myself independent and pretty much a solo player for most things in my life.  I have found it easier to just do it, be done with it, and then talk about it later.  BUT recently something shifted in me, caused by an experience so foreign, so unknown to my ways, that I hope I never return to these old habits of Being Me.It began in December, as an internal countdown began.  I intuitively knew that time was running out to finally make a decision about whether or not I should do my own radio show based on my article ROAR! here.  This realization of a decision needing to be made, created in me a sense of insecurity so unknown and unfamiliar to this...

WTH? How did I get here?

My story reads like science fiction or is it a fairy tale, without the Grimm’s drama and darkness, but where the fairy godmother waves her magic wand and grants all my wishes true.  So far it has been without any serious consequences, or are there?…..  ….. It is too soon to tell, it has just begun, this story of mine.  So as I blow a bit of fairy dust, or is it star dust, off my shoulders, let me catch you up on my story as of yet…. ~ I am inspired to write ROAR! on Saturday, May 21, 2010 at 1:00am ~ An author/friend, Jack Armstrong, tells me I need to share ROAR! on Facebook.  I do on Sunday, May 23, 2010 at 5:29pm ~ ROAR! goes viral/international in a few weeks...
